Hart4Heisman wrote:yep... totally agree with the effectiveness of the line slants.... seems like it was overshadowed by the new "guess feature" but they are just as effective as they used to be. if you use the slant and press up, so they all rush to the outside, one of your DEs are getting through no matter what. i have tested this and theres really nothing you can do. its like speedrushing, without actually controlling the guy.

i liked this game when it first came out, but now all this gimmicky shit is getting old and making it nearly unplayable for me. (me and tfan had a nice game without any of that bullshit. i dont think either of us did anything with the sliders and the game went down to the wire)
nods head. I went from playing this game constantly to not even thinking about it in the past week.

Have you considered running Fake Punt Pass....this increased distance from the OL to the Passer could be just the time you need to get off an effective pass

Seriously, though. Without all the gimmicky crap this is a very very good version. The gimmicky shit plus some of the god awful line play as mentioned by shell and plasma about the guards and tackles just stepping to the side have made this game nearly impossible to enjoy consistently. Key word for me: consistently...one game maybe you wont experience much but the next you will. Its one thing if your opponent is just finding good blitzes etc, but another animal altogether when you get line slants, jump the snap, pass defense, and crappy blocking going...its miserable.

When it comes to programming I'm not to hip on that shit. With the way the O-Line barely blocks at times can EA come out with a patch to help with the neanderthals on the line?

I totally agree with you. ill play one game and shit is just ridiculous, I will eject the game, throw in another for 1 hour, then back to ncaa. rains, it pours and could make for a long hour of football with this silly blocking stuff.
btw bigry, you and stimpin have made my funny lines of the ndl below. these are the lines I have just laughed out loud and people give me the wtf look.

Sixfeet...try not sucking. ;)

I dunno, some days your the windshield...some days your the bug. Its just the way it goes, the unpredictability that is college football. You can't experience the same wondrous and gleeful feeling of a perfect umbrella shaped pocket every play/game. Plus, I KNOW you've had your share of success.

Just play the computer on Hiesman, that should prepare you for anything. :roll:





I'm honored bigry. ;)

I was thinking the same exact thing.

Cathy goes "How did Cindy get her clothes back on so fast after Nole did her from behind on the futon?!??"
